wish there was, but you'll be lucky - graphics card is the (big) bottleneck there... "Zork" <zork100@worldnet.att.net> wrote in message news:nL3Ad.39608$uM5.31947@bgtnsc05-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... > Is there any laptop that is capable of doing a GOOD job > running Doom3 ? ? ? > TIA > Zork >

Works PERFECTLY on my laptop. I have it on the High Graphics setting too (it starts going slow on Ultra High). It's a Toshiba Satellite P30. Pentium 4, 3.20GHz, 512RAM Obviously I use a USB Mouse.. how hard would it be with the mouse pad!?

I thought maybe you were feeding us a line of bull, because the stats listed on that site look rather unimpressive, but after looking through the "detailed specs," I see the choices for customization are better than the default parts. The best card they have listed is an ATI MOBILITY Radeon 9700 video card w/ 128mb VRAM. Assuming you changed the default processor/video card choices (defaults to a celeron, yuck), this laptop would probably make a decent rig for Doom3. > Obviously I use a USB Mouse.. how hard would it be with the mouse pad!? Harder than minesweeper for sure, slick. Thanks for the info -- Noob - "do you hack?" Justin - "i hack like a maniac!" Noob - "do you have digital cable?" Justin - "i have *ALL* the cables!"

Runs fine on my Rock Xtreme 3.0GHz with Radeon 9700 and 1GB RAM, apart from the fact that it crashes when you teleport to hell. I am going to try fiddling with the ATI driver settings some time as advised in this forum by Marcus Torrent. Phil Hibbs.
